How do I add common misspellings of my domain as CNAME records using DO’s DNS?
When adding a CNAME with DO it only asks for the name and appending .mydomain to the end.
So I end up with:
mydomain.com 1800 IN A a.b.c.d misspelling.mydomain.com 1800 IN CNAME mydomain.com
When I need:
misspelling.com 1800 IN CNAME mydomain.com

So, you are pointing your registered misspelled domains to the DO nameserver, correct?
I added the misspellings to DO’s name servers. Then added a cname record as:
*.misspelling.com. 1800 IN CNAME mydomain.com.
